Bug#330081: Possible fix
As I said in #343521, I had problems with this exact linux-headers
version when compiling zaptel-source with module-assistant, and when
compiling cxacru (non-debian) with make ("make -C
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-686/ SUBDIR=`pwd` modules"). In both
cases, the version was set to "2.6.12" instead of "2.6.12-1-686",
generating wrong module information, and installing in the wrong
modules directory.
I saw that in pre-2.6.12 kernel-headers packages, in the file
include/linux/version.h would define UTS_RELEASE with the complete
version, including extraversion, as you can see:
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.10-1-386/include/linux/version.h:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.10-1-386"
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.10-1/include/linux/version.h:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.10-1"
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11-1-386/include/linux/version.h:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.11-1-386"
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11-1/include/linux/version.h:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.11-1"
In linux-image-2.6.12 this was not the case: the extraversion was not
present in UTS_RELEASE. I don't know if this was intentional, but
changing that value, solved all my module-compiling problems.
